Found the SaveGamePath settings bug, fixed for next release, thanks for the report!

I had this same bug. It also removes the Seed and sets it back to RWG so you get a new world. Unchecking "Automatically update serverconfig" also did not work as it just rechecks itself when you close and open RAT even after saving with it unchecked.

I'm assuming they were part of the same SaveGamePath bug, but thought I'd mention them.

What version of RAT are you using? I ask because there was a known issue with the checkboxes not saving right, in 2022, but fixed in RAT 2023. Or at least I thought it was, so I want to check with you.

Also, should be a new version of RAT out today or tomorrow, which fixes the savegame bug among other things.

Thanks a lot!

I have solved the event export. Old school. Just copying the files in the AppData/Local and AppData/Roaming.

Fixed: *** Possible RAT exploit of impersonation of another player. *** No known reports of this being exploited, but found and fixed. This would only affect RAT seeing one player as another player, nothing internal to the game.

Changed: Server Configuration values are saved more frequently when navigating around RAT

Added: Support for BCM player chat. Chat should no longer be duplicated when a player has a color or group assigned to them (Reported by: PhantomGhost)

Changed: 'Player New Connected' event now happens when the player spawns into the world, instead of a 60 second delay.

Fixed: You can again use cursor movements in the console/chat windows as well as CTRL-A/C, etc. (Reported by: PlaT)

Changed: World Gen Size maximum now set to 32768 (Note, this is twice the MAXIMUM recommended by TFP). I doubled it, because there's always SOMEONE wanting to push the limits.

Changed: Game World is now a text box instead of a dropdown to support A17 game worlds (Reported by: StompyNZ)

Fixed: RAT Exception on Saveworld timer could occur, no longer throws an exception, but root cause is still unknown (Reported by: PlaT)

Added: Event Help for new Conditionals/RAT Commands (Reported by: Njinir)

Added: On Connection Commands. Check the Remote tab. Basically perform the commands in the box, when RAT connects to the server. (Requested by: PlaT)

Fixed: SaveGamePath was not properly being read/displayed (Reported by: Goshawkdm)

Added: Currency System - You can now charge, or give players "currency" for doing actions within the game.
See the Misc tab in RAT for a few bank settings (like enabling it!)

This opens up a lot of possiblities if you get creative, examples:
Giving new players X currency for joining your server the first time.
Giving regular players X currency for joining the server once a day (just add a 24H cooldown)
Giving currency for killing zombies and animals
Taking currency for killing players (or even giving it!)

Thes are just some of the ideas. All of these can be used with the RAT Conditional statments to prevent abuse, or put in specific checks
like making sure the player has as specific level, Admin level, cooldowns, etc.

Added: New RAT Conditional: HASFUNDS
HASFUNDS:{player_steamid},AMOUNT -- only passes if the player has AMOUNT currency in their bank account

Added: New RAT Event Commands:
.BANKBALANCE:{player_steamid} -- sets new RAT variables (see below)
.BANKMODIFY:{player_steamid},AMOUNT -- AMOUNT can be a negative to remove currency
.BANKWITHDRAW:{player_steamid},AMOUNT -- AMOUNT is how much currency to convert to Duke tokens

Added: New RAT Event
Player Killed Zombie (or animals)

Added: New RAT variables
{bank_balance} - The players current balance
{bank_max} - The maximum amount players are allowed to store in their bank.
{bank_exchange_rate} - The exchange rate applied to a withdrawl of currency. aka, exchange rate of 10%, player removes 1000 currency, player gets 900 dukes.
{bank_exchange_value} - The currency value the player gets, after the exchange rate is applied

Hi Trekkan. Thank you for providing RAT. Me, my family and friends have had SO MUCH FUN playing 7DTD through a dedicated server controlled by RAT.

Although we've managed to rule out all the problems we've encountered up until now using RAT we've just upgraded to version 02029 and we've finally hit a problem that we don't understand how to fix. We are wondering if you (or anyone else here on the forum) would be so kind as to help us out a little?

Every time we start RAT 02029 it asks us to accept the license agreement a new. Every time we start RAT 02029 it seems to have forgotten the settings saved during the last session. For instance the path to the game files as well as the serverconfig.xml file. When we ignore the error messages and try to start the 7DTD dedicated server through RAT, RAT throws us an error message stating the quoted message below.

Anyway, We're hoping to get this sorted asap as we hope to be able to play together again this weekend.

Hey there! First, thank you for using RAT! =) What you are encountering sounds like an issue writing to the database, so when you quit and come back, RAT didn't actually get updated (the database), and any changes you've made, are also not written to the database.

There are a few reasons for this.

#1, try running RAT as administrator. See if that fixes it. If it does, then there's a Windows permissions problem with were you have installed RAT. You can continue to run it as admin, or fix the issue, up to you.

#2, When you installed RAT, did you install it for "Everyone" or "Just Me"? If you installed it for everyone, that's the problem and was recently pointed out to me. I'm working on a new installer to fix this and other things now actually.

In order to fix this, you need to uninstall RAT from the Add/remove programs, then reinstall it for "Just Me". If you have settings in the RAT DB that you want to keep, then you'll need to copy the 7d2d_rat.db file, from I think its the users/public folder, to your %appdata%\nomadsoft folder. Sounds harder than it is. Otherwise, if you haven't created a lot of custom events, etc, you can just reimport your serverconfig.xml file into RAT and you don't have to reenter that data again.

Sorry for the trouble, I'm working on fixing this as I said! =)

To cleanly uninstall and reinstall, you're going to lose any settings/configuration you've done in RAT. But, it'll generally fix any issues that might have appeared by upgrading over time, etc. You can find those instructions on my website here: http://www.jffgaming.com/threads/how...tall-rat.7024/

If you continue to have issues, please feel free to join our Discord server (link is on the right side of the above link), and we'll get ya going. =)

Thank you Trekkan. With your help we managed to upgrade RAT och update our database as seen below.
